Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
Peptide ELISA: Antibody detection limit dilution 1:32,000.
IHC-P: Use at a concentration of 0.3 µg/ml. In paraffin embedded Human Tonsil, stains most cells in the mantle zone and interfollicular area. In the germinal centres the majority of cells are negative.
WB: Use at a concentration of 0.3 - 3 µg/ml. Predicted molecular weight: 21 kDa.


Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Positive control 
(see definition)

MOLT4 or liver lysate.

Cellular localization 

Cytoplasm. Membrane-associated when activated.

Relevance 

RAC2 is a small signaling G protein (more specifically a GTPase), and is a member of the RAC subfamily of the family Rho family of GTPases. RAC proteins play important roles in multiple cellular events, including actin cytoskeletal organization, cell proliferation and survival, cell cycle progression, and gene transcription regulation.
RAC1 and RAC2 are also essential components of NADPH oxidase, the enzyme responsible for generating free radicals.
